No more midnight panic when your toilet backs up. No more cold showers because your water heater gave up without warning. No more kitchen sinks that drain slower than your patience during family meal prep.
You get plumbing that works when you need it to work. Your drains flow freely, even with Palo Alto’s hard water conditions. Your water heater delivers consistent hot water on demand. Your toilets flush properly every single time.
Most importantly, you get peace of mind. We don’t slap band-aids on symptoms and disappear. We find the actual problem, explain what’s causing it, and give you real solutions that last years, not months.
We’ve been handling Palo Alto’s plumbing challenges since 2001. Not because we’re the cheapest—we’re not. Because we’re the ones who fix it right the first time.
You get uniformed technicians who wear shoe covers in your home and clean up when we’re done. We show up on time, diagnose the real problem, and give you multiple options instead of pushing the most expensive solution.
Better Business Bureau accredited. Licensed and insured. Third-generation expertise that understands Palo Alto’s unique conditions—from hard water issues in older neighborhoods to modern demands of tech-forward homes where everything needs to work perfectly.
First, we listen. No assumptions about what’s wrong based on a two-minute phone call. Our technician shows up on time and actually examines your plumbing system with proper diagnostic tools.
Next, we find the real problem. Not just the symptom you’re seeing, but what’s causing it. Slow drains might be mineral buildup from hard water. Running toilets might have failed internal components. We identify root causes.
Then we explain your options clearly. Repair, replace, or maintain—we give you honest recommendations based on your system’s condition and your budget. You decide what makes sense for your situation and timeline.
Finally, we complete the work professionally and test everything. Your plumbing works properly, your home is cleaner than when we arrived, and you understand exactly what we did and why it will last.

We handle everything from emergency repairs to planned installations. Professional drain cleaning that removes mineral buildup instead of just pushing it downstream. Water heater repair and replacement with energy-efficient options that make sense for Palo Alto’s climate and utility costs.
Toilet repair that stops running, leaking, and backing up for good. Pipe repairs and whole-house repiping for older Palo Alto homes where original plumbing is showing its age. Gas line work performed safely and up to current codes.
Palo Alto’s hard water conditions mean your drains need professional attention more frequently than in other areas. We understand local challenges—from tree root intrusion in established neighborhoods to higher demands of modern appliances in tech-forward homes. Our solutions account for these specific conditions, not generic fixes that work elsewhere but fail here after six months.
We prioritize emergency calls and typically respond within a few hours, often sooner depending on your location in Palo Alto and the severity of the situation. For true emergencies like burst pipes or major leaks, we drop everything and head your way.
Our emergency response covers the entire Palo Alto area, from older neighborhoods near downtown to newer developments. We keep fully stocked vehicles so we can handle most repairs immediately without needing multiple trips for parts.
The key is calling as soon as you notice the problem. A small leak today becomes a major flood tomorrow, and early intervention saves you money, time, and stress while preventing water damage to your home.
We’re third-generation plumbers who actually take time to diagnose problems correctly instead of rushing to the most expensive solution. Our technicians are paid hourly, not commission, so they focus on fixing your problem rather than selling you services you don’t need.
You get uniformed professionals who wear shoe covers, explain everything in plain English, and clean up completely when the work is done. We’re Better Business Bureau accredited and provide upfront pricing without hidden fees or surprise charges.
Most importantly, we offer comprehensive services—plumbing, HVAC, and electrical—so you have one reliable company for all your home’s systems. That’s valuable when problems involve multiple systems or when you need several projects handled efficiently under one roof.
Yes, we work with both residential and light commercial clients throughout Palo Alto. Our residential services cover everything from emergency repairs to complete bathroom remodels and whole-house repiping projects for older homes.
For commercial clients, we handle routine maintenance, emergency repairs, and system installations. We understand that business downtime costs money, so we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your operations while ensuring quality work.
Whether you’re a homeowner dealing with a backed-up drain or a business owner with a malfunctioning water heater, we bring the same professional approach and quality workmanship to every job, large or small.
Palo Alto’s hard water conditions require more frequent drain cleaning and specific approaches to prevent mineral buildup. We recommend professional drain cleaning annually for most homes, and we use methods that actually remove accumulated minerals rather than just pushing debris downstream.
For homes with recurring drain problems, we can install water softening systems or recommend pipe materials that resist mineral buildup. We also handle tree root intrusion, which is common in Palo Alto’s established neighborhoods with mature landscaping.
Our local experience means we understand which solutions work long-term in Palo Alto’s specific conditions. Generic approaches that work in other areas often fail here because they don’t account for the local water chemistry and soil conditions that affect your plumbing system.
First, check if it’s getting power (for electric units) or if the pilot light is lit (for gas units). Don’t attempt any repairs yourself, especially with gas water heaters, as improper work can create serious safety hazards.
Call us immediately if you notice any gas odors, water leaking around the unit, or if the water heater is making unusual noises. These can indicate serious problems that need professional attention right away to prevent damage or safety issues.
For older water heaters (over 8-10 years), replacement often makes more financial sense than expensive repairs. We’ll assess your unit honestly and explain whether repair or replacement is the better investment for your specific situation and budget.
Yes, we back all our work with comprehensive warranties that cover both parts and labor. The specific warranty period depends on the type of work performed, but we stand behind everything we do for years, not months.
For major installations like water heaters or repiping projects, you get extended warranty coverage that protects your investment. We also provide manufacturer warranties on all the parts and fixtures we install from trusted brands.
If something goes wrong with our work, we come back and make it right at no charge to you. That’s not just good business—it’s how we’ve built our reputation in Palo Alto over more than two decades of reliable service to homeowners and businesses.
